Notes: In 1965, Jr. made the big move into A/GS. He got a 1950 Austin Sedan body and put a Chrysler 57/58 engine in it. It ran 155 mph in 9.03 seconds. This was a revolutionary car in that it was built to the minimum allowable wheelbase, 92 inches. It was the shortest legal wheelbase and with it he set the NHRA and AHRA national records in A/GS.

Notes: In 1998, Ron piloted his current car -- a AA/Supercharged 1963 Corvette -- to a Goodguys Nostalgia record of 6.70 seconds at 208.97 mph. Ron won top honors that year in the Goodguy's Nostalgia for the Lowest ET and Top Speed. In 1998, the Corvette was the test car for the 671 Kobelco Supercharger. - Ron's website | Formerly listed as 6.765, 205 for this year.

Notes: Blown, stock displacement 427 cammer with 4-hole upright Hilborn injectors. C-6 auto trans. Frame built by owner off of heavily modified '33 Willys frame rails to conform to NHRA's gas class "stock automobile-type frame" rule. Car weight 2,150 lbs. fiberglass '67 Mustang body by Cal Automotive, painted "metalflake Easter Bunny blue." | The 1967 Mustang Malco Gasser debuted at the 1967 NHRA Spring Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee. This was the car that changed the Gassers forever. It was at corporate Ford's insistence that "Ohio George" race what Ford sold. This car proved so superior in handling and performance that the "World's Wildest Willys" was permanently retired. The Malco Gasser was powered by a 671 Blown 427 c.i. SOHC Ford engine that made approximately 1200 HP on pump gas and was raced until May 1975. It was chosen to the 1967 Car Craft All-Star Drag Team. George set 5 NHRA National records with this car and won Super Eliminator at the 1969 NHRA Spring Nationals. The Malco Gasser is now on display at the Peterson Museum in Los Angeles, California.

Notes: Cowdrey's ultra-hairy lime-green combo boasted a blown 327 Chev, B&M Hydrostick in a 92-inch wheelbase tube frame. The front fenders, hood, doors were fiberglass. the remaining shell (such as there was) was steel. Built to compete in AAM, SP, the car occasionally ran as a BB/A. Cowdrey went on to race a pair of early 392-powered Chevrolet funnies in the latter half of the decade. He competes in historic, vintage sports car races to this day. There was a two-page photo feature on this car in the 8-66 Car Craft.
